Essang Bassey Goes Down With Concerning Knee Injury

The Broncos defensive back made contact with Sammy Watkins downfield, took an off-balance step on his left side and suffered a non-contact injury in his left leg. By video there is worry for his knee buckling which would mean an ACL tear. He did limp off the field, but he will not return tonight and has since been ruled out. We hope the video footage looks worse than it is, but there is significant concern for a season-ending ACL tear for the rookie. With Bryce Callahan out of the lineup, they will have to find another answer in the slot.
